The Bloggers for Exxon are cashing their petro-checks over something they like to call 'Climategate'. Nothing has changed. All reputable experts still hold the same theories ("The evidence for human-made climate change is overwhelming."), backed up by research over decades, and Exxon and its lackeys still beg to differ. It is early days, but I've seen few sane responses to the oily bluster. What still puzzles me is why some people don't want to notice the obvious corporate interests working against the truth (this isn't conspiracy: the conferences of 'scientists' challenging climate change theories are all funded by big oil). We really are moving into a dark age where real science is seen as just another part of the Conspiracy. You are going to continue to be disappointed if you think I am going into that dark age with you.
